Installing on Citra (Release) - Ich73/DQM2-FanTranslation GitHub Wiki
[!IMPORTANT] These instructions show you how to install a Release on Citra.
Alternatively you can use a LayeredFS Patch on Citra by following Installing on Citra (LayeredFS).
Prerequisites
You need:

- e.g. Patches-v1.0-EN.zip
- e.g. Patches-v1.1-EN.zip
- Game Patcher
Setup
[!NOTE] The setup is only required to do a single time. Once this is done you can skip to Patching for updating the game.
Dumping
First you need to obtain a .cia
or .3ds
file of the game from your original copy of the game: Dumping the Game (CIA) or Dumping the Game (3DS).
Optional: If you have the official v1.1 update installed, you can dump a .cia
of it as well: Dumping the Update.
Workspace
Create a new folder and place the following in it:
- The
.cia
or.3ds
file of the original game - The patches for the original game (e.g.
Patches-v1.0-EN.zip
) GamePatcher.exe
from the previously downloadedGame Patcher

- The
.cia
file of the official update - The patches for the official update (e.g.
Patches-v1.1-EN.zip
)
Patching
To apply the downloaded patches to the dumped .cia
/.3ds
file(s) do the following:
- Run
GamePatcher.exe
- Wait until the process is finished
- When asked to clean up you have three options:
n
